Top Three Player-battle in PAK vs CAN Clash in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024
1. Nicholas Kirton vs Naseem Shah
Nicholas Kirton has been superb for Canada in this competition. He is their one batter who has played well irrespective of the pitch and opponents. The Southpaw has scored 100 runs in two games at an average of 50 and a strike rate of 151.51. If he can play one more good innings in New York, Pakistan will surely be under pressure. However, Naseem Shah has been fantastic in the middle overs. He has taken four wickets and bowled the hard length. Hence, this could be the match-up that can be very crucial in this game between two in-form players.
2. Babar Azam vs Dilon Heyliger
Dilon Heyliger is the leading wicket-taker for Canada in this tournament and has taken three wickets at a superb economy rate of 5.28. He is bowling well in the powerplay and middle. He bowls between 6 to 8 metres which can be very effective at this venue. Dilon will be a threat to Pakistan’s batting which has struggled so far. That’s where Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam needs to step up. He is facing a lot of criticism after two defeats and it is time for him to show his skills. We all know what Babar can do with the bat which has been missing so far. But his wicket will be very crucial and Canada will try their best bowler against him.
3. Navneet Dhaliwal vs Haris Rauf
Navneet Dhaliwal is another Canadian batter who is in good form. He started the tournament with a brilliant 61 against the USA in the first game. He knows the conditions here as he has played enough in the USA. But his real test will be against the pace of Haris Rauf. The speedster has taken four wickets in two games and is bowling consistently around 150 km/h which is hard to face by any bowler. He will be looking to bowl fast and hard against Canada and it will be interesting to see how Dhaliwal will be tackling his pace
